Rotiert Schwarzenbcck. Sumner Oerard and K. L. Beard appeared, in¬ formally before the Roard to protest against tbe proposition to use tho Kiel farm property by the Counly of NasBaii for tuberculosis hospital and the uno ot tbe proporty for tbe em- ployTTient of prisonera In connection with the cla.Hsiflcation as recommend¬ ed.
A communication was received from the Stato Departinent of Health, 4ated October 31, 1917, referring to the petition of the Board of Super- TlBor.s for a rehearing on two addi¬ tional sites propose for the tubercu¬ losis hospital. The site previously •elected by tho Board, and upon which a hearing was held on Sep¬ tember 5, 1917, has been duly ap¬ proved by the Deputy Commissioner, acting for the Commissioner of Health, and by the local Health Of¬ ficer, as provided by law. After a re-lnspectlon of the two sites desig¬ nated In the petition of October 23, find they do not compare In any re¬ spect for the purposie proposed with the one which haa already been ap¬ proved. The letter was orde-red fll¬ ed for consideration.
The communication wa.i addressed to SupervLsor Hiram R. Smith, cbalr¬ man of the Board, and w.a.s sifined hy Hermann M. Bigps, M.D., State Com¬ missioner of Health. It road.s as fol¬ lows. In part:
"ReferrinK to tho petition of tho Board of Supervisors of Nassau Coun¬ ty of tho 23i'd of October, 1917, for a rehearing on two additional sites proposed for a County Tuberculosi-s Hospital, I beg to say that the site previously selecled hy your Board and upon which a hearlns has been held as petitioned hy your Board, haa been duly approved hy the Deputy Commissioner of Health, actinB as my representative, and by the local Health Officer, as provided by law. A copy of the decision Is herewith enclosed. j
"The papers were not forwarded to you earlier because of a request from a member of the Board of Supervis¬ ors that a reaaonable time be grant¬ ed for presenting other sites; thia action being desired owing to certain opposition to the use of this site, which developed subaequcnt to tho hearing. The law does not provide for any such action, but I was very desirous to meet every reaaonable re¬ quest or criticLsm and expedite, as much as possible, tbo construction of thia hospital, which is so much need¬ ed and has beon so lonK unneces¬ sarily delayed.
"I have had a careful reinspectlon mado of the two .sites desiKnated In your petition of October 23, by two representatives of the Uepartraent, and find that they do not compare In any respect for the purpose pro¬ posed, with tbo ono which has boon already appiovod. The larRor site Is Biinply a dreary waste of scrub oaka and poattcrcd pinos. with no aheltor to the norlh, no oullook to the south and tio nciir the ."-ea front to be dc^;ll•llbh¦ for (his purpose. The land Is Uat. low-lyiut: and is vm^'U known to bo iufcsli-d wiih mosqui¬ toes.
"There Is go far as I am aware no single feature that oan be rosarded as favorable iu those two sites for the pi i'po:^(> named. Ou (be other hand, tbo silo nuini-il hy (ho Super¬ visors, and which has tieon duly np- provod, answers in ultuost ull par¬ ticulars (he leqiiiiemonts for such an Institution, so far as tbey can be obtained in l.oll^' Island, excepting that It would be better If it were nearer the linos of transportation. This, however, Is such flat country that it is not a .prions objection.
"Regarding tbo opposition to the original alte by thoae owning prop¬ erty In the vIc'Tilty. on the ground that tbe establlbbiueut of a hospital would affect the ralue and deslrablU Ity of tbe property for residential purfiosea—which opposition develop¬ ed so late—1 would say that thla ob- Jeotlon Is urged sgaloat every site which has ever beea selected for •uch purpose I believe, and ti^at ex¬ perience hu always Btewn tliat the objection is without fouBdattoo.

At their meeting last Friday the Board of Supervisors voted, npon reaolution of Supervisor Smith, to establish the position of Superinten¬ dent of County Buildings In Naasau County. The action was taken in the belief that It would result In the more economic and efficient care of cnunty buildinga. The holder of the position will receive $1800 a year, and wiil be appointed by the Super¬ visors. Tho State Civil Service Com- rlsslon has been requested by tho Board to place the position In the exempt class, after obtaining the ap¬ proval of the Oovernor.

NASSAU COUNTY SUFFS ARE HAPPY
OVER THE ELECTION
Results Much Greater Than They Anticipat¬ ed During Campai^
The Suffragista of Nassau County arc extremely happy over tho elec¬ tion returns of Tuesday, which In¬ dicate that they sweep the entire Stato. Mrs. Frederick E. Greene, of Port Washington, the leader, ex¬ pressed her Joy in no uncertain tones.
The results make the women feel proud of their achievement. Nassau Counly went Suffrage by a small margin last year, and it was to beat that record that the women sot out, little anticipating the 2000 majority they have won. In the Town ot lleinp.stead tho vote went: '"Yes," 3838; "no" 3172. North Hempstead, "yes," l.'S2t); "no" 1162. Oyster Bay, "yes," 227.'5; Aio," 1314. Total, "yes," 7612; "no," Sfi-IS.
The Suffragists' efforts In taking tho State census, in distributing rood cards, and now, even while the can¬ vassing was going on, in distribut¬ ing another supply of food cards, won thetn the unqualified support of many men, they believe.
Now tbat the women will be heard from on Election Day, It Is expect¬ ed that they will form themselves In¬ to an organization, irrespective of politics, that will be second to none. The women themselves are unable to stato their plans. The victory has come BO suddenly upon them that they cannot begin to understand tbe full significance of It all for the time being. .,,

CONSPIRACY TO DESTROY FOODS
The Council, on October 28th, had an emergency meeting called hy Gov¬ ernor Whitman, who waa Informed by telegraphic communication from Her¬ bert C. Hoover that there was a def¬ inite and widespread conspiracy to destroy by flre cattle and grain throughout the State, and he urged that steps be taken at once to pre¬ vent a repetition of such losses as recently occurred in the barley and wheat flre in Brooklyn.
Acting under the suggestion of Governor Whitman tho Council, through Its secretary, Immediately telegraphed to the chiefs of police of the principal cities of the State.
The result has been prompt ard highly commendable. All chiefs of police answered that they aad at once taken measures to guard ail such stores and supplies.
It Is of the most vital importar.c: that each and every citizen of in? State do his part to prevent the ppread of any such conspiracy.
If our grain supply Is burned, the Germans stab our soldiers in thf^ bark. If our cattle are destroyod. It takes the food out of the mouth!-' of our troops flghting In France.
Immense stores of supplies niust go to Kurope this wlntor and n^^xt spring. Tt is the duty of all tho peo¬ ple in this State to see each lu hi-! small or large way that the flow of these supplies is neither stopped nor retarded by traitors.

Nassau (x>unty lived up to her Iraditions on EleeUon Day and want Republican by a good, large m*. Jority, T he vote was lighter than it lias been in years. Not more thaa a^ sixty per cent, of the regristered vot¬ er itt^ came to the polls, and the totala were far below the vote of a Pi«Bi. uential year.
v.iFi*® '^onien carried the county by IJJ6 and corrected returns will pro- bably show it to be much larger
Thero was very little work done by liuy of the candidates at any time dur^ ing the campaign. A few speeches wtre inaile by tho candidates for tha Assembly Lut thi.* wual more in the ^•econd District, where Franklin A. Coles, the Republican candidate, won by a safe majority over Richard Ko- hoe, his Democratic opponent. Mr t-oies w.-us a loriiicr District Attorney rnd I.s one of the most prominent law- >(.T.s in Nassau County. The honor 01 being the first Assemblyman for the new Second District of Nassau was practically forced upon him as he di(i not want to leave his law practica
In Hempstead, Thomas A. Me Whinney was elected over his Demo- crati(: opponent, George M. Bode by n majority that kept rolling up as the returns came in.
One of tho surprises was tho vary hght vote that Justice Kelly, on tlM Democratic ticket, received. He waa endorsed by the Republicans before the primaries, bu*, received a very liRht vote at that time, and Tuesday ht hardly ran ahead of the rest of hia f ticket, showing that he received na support from the Republican orgwii- zation that endorsed him. Hia defeat in the county was regretted by a lan» number of the attorneys here, many of whom were in his favor, c P®. Republican candidates for hchool Directors were carried alona with the rest of the ticket, William ^ A Towner, G. Underhill, of Jericho. ond Eugene Denton, of Mineola, aU Koing in with safe majorities, run- ¦ ""i5 ''^" '*^'<^^> their ticket
There was little surprise at tha vote for Justices of the Supremo Court. Leander Faber ran ahead in a majority of the districts and led the other two by a good margin. Judea i'awcett wa.s slightly ahead of Judge Strong, of Suffolk. ^
Morton E. Lewis for Attorney Gen- era , Republican, ran far ahead of the rest of the ticket and defeated hia nearest opponent by a majority that was so onesided as to ba Without argument. tttuomt
The workers at the polls were busy throughout the day and tried their best to get out a largo vote, but tha voters could not ba coaxed out and many went away for tke day.
FAWCETTWJNS IN JUSTICE CONTEST
County Judge Lewis L. Fawcett. one of the three Republican candi¬ dates for Justic* of the Suprema Court, withHto6d the gieneral Demo¬ cratic landslide of Tuesday and waa tlectedi with Justice William J. Kel¬ ly and Edward Lazansky, both of whom ran on the Deocratic ticket
Judge Fawcett ran second to Jus- m tice Kelly and well in advance to*i Lazansky. Richard S. Newcombe, the third Democratic candidate, ran lou rth, about 7,000 votes behind Lazansky. Inlander B. Faber, now i'crving on the Supremo Court Bench by courtesy of Governor Whitman'a uppointnient, was fifth in the race, while Selah B. Strong straggled in a^ poor sixth.

NASSAU COUNTY SUFFS ARE HAPPY
OVER THE ELECTION
Results Much Greater Than They Anticipat¬ ed During Campai^
The Suffragista of Nassau County arc extremely happy over tho elec¬ tion returns of Tuesday, which In¬ dicate that they sweep the entire Stato. Mrs. Frederick E. Greene, of Port Washington, the leader, ex¬ pressed her Joy in no uncertain tones.
The results make the women feel proud of their achievement. Nassau Counly went Suffrage by a small margin last year, and it was to beat that record that the women sot out, little anticipating the 2000 majority they have won. In the Town ot lleinp.stead tho vote went: '"Yes," 3838; "no" 3172. North Hempstead, "yes," l.'S2t); "no" 1162. Oyster Bay, "yes," 227.'5; Aio," 1314. Total, "yes," 7612; "no," Sfi-IS.
The Suffragists' efforts In taking tho State census, in distributing rood cards, and now, even while the can¬ vassing was going on, in distribut¬ ing another supply of food cards, won thetn the unqualified support of many men, they believe.
Now tbat the women will be heard from on Election Day, It Is expect¬ ed that they will form themselves In¬ to an organization, irrespective of politics, that will be second to none. The women themselves are unable to stato their plans. The victory has come BO suddenly upon them that they cannot begin to understand tbe full significance of It all for the time being. .,,

CONSPIRACY TO DESTROY FOODS
The Council, on October 28th, had an emergency meeting called hy Gov¬ ernor Whitman, who waa Informed by telegraphic communication from Her¬ bert C. Hoover that there was a def¬ inite and widespread conspiracy to destroy by flre cattle and grain throughout the State, and he urged that steps be taken at once to pre¬ vent a repetition of such losses as recently occurred in the barley and wheat flre in Brooklyn.
Acting under the suggestion of Governor Whitman tho Council, through Its secretary, Immediately telegraphed to the chiefs of police of the principal cities of the State.
The result has been prompt ard highly commendable. All chiefs of police answered that they aad at once taken measures to guard ail such stores and supplies.
It Is of the most vital importar.c: that each and every citizen of in? State do his part to prevent the ppread of any such conspiracy.
If our grain supply Is burned, the Germans stab our soldiers in thf^ bark. If our cattle are destroyod. It takes the food out of the mouth!-' of our troops flghting In France.
Immense stores of supplies niust go to Kurope this wlntor and n^^xt spring. Tt is the duty of all tho peo¬ ple in this State to see each lu hi-! small or large way that the flow of these supplies is neither stopped nor retarded by traitors.

CHRISTMAS TREE IN DEPOT PLAZA
The Neighorhood Workers of Free- port have reeen purchased and after serv ing their purpose have been thrown away.
Mrs. Elizabeth Story, secretary of the Neighborhood Workers believes it will be a real economy to have an evergreen tree for use at Christmas, and it would improve the depot plaza. The trustees yesterday authorized the women to get bids for an ever green. Later it will be bouj?ht out of the park fund, in which there is snug balance.
unty lived up to her Iraditions on EleeUon Day and want Republican by a good, large m*. Jority, T he vote was lighter than it lias been in years. Not more thaa a^ sixty per cent, of the regristered vot¬ er itt^ came to the polls, and the totala were far below the vote of a Pi«Bi. uential year.
v.iFi*® '^onien carried the county by IJJ6 and corrected returns will pro- bably show it to be much larger
Thero was very little work done by liuy of the candidates at any time dur^ ing the campaign. A few speeches wtre inaile by tho candidates for tha Assembly Lut thi.* wual more in the ^•econd District, where Franklin A. Coles, the Republican candidate, won by a safe majority over Richard Ko- hoe, his Democratic opponent. Mr t-oies w.-us a loriiicr District Attorney rnd I.s one of the most prominent law- >(.T.s in Nassau County.

In Hempstead, Thomas A. Me Whinney was elected over his Demo- crati(: opponent, George M. Bode by n majority that kept rolling up as the returns came in.
One of tho surprises was tho vary hght vote that Justice Kelly, on tlM Democratic ticket, received. He waa endorsed by the Republicans before the primaries, bu*, received a very liRht vote at that time, and Tuesday ht hardly ran ahead of the rest of hia f ticket, showing that he received na support from the Republican orgwii- zation that endorsed him. Hia defeat in the county was regretted by a lan» number of the attorneys here, many of whom were in his favor, c P®. Republican candidates for hchool Directors were carried alona with the rest of the ticket, William ^ A Towner, G. Underhill, of Jericho. ond Eugene Denton, of Mineola, aU Koing in with safe majorities, run- ¦ ""i5 ''^" '*^' their ticket
There was little surprise at tha vote for Justices of the Supremo Court. Leander Faber ran ahead in a majority of the districts and led the other two by a good margin. Judea i'awcett wa.s slightly ahead of Judge Strong, of Suffolk. ^
Morton E. Lewis for Attorney Gen- era , Republican, ran far ahead of the rest of the ticket and defeated hia nearest opponent by a majority that was so onesided as to ba Without argument. tttuomt
The workers at the polls were busy throughout the day and tried their best to get out a largo vote, but tha voters could not ba coaxed out and many went away for tke day.

County Judge Lewis L. Fawcett. one of the three Republican candi¬ dates for Justic* of the Suprema Court, withHto6d the gieneral Demo¬ cratic landslide of Tuesday and waa tlectedi with Justice William J. Kel¬ ly and Edward Lazansky, both of whom ran on the Deocratic ticket
Judge Fawcett ran second to Jus- m tice Kelly and well in advance to*i Lazansky. Richard S. Newcombe, the third Democratic candidate, ran lou rth, about 7,000 votes behind Lazansky. Inlander B. Faber, now i'crving on the Supremo Court Bench by courtesy of Governor Whitman'a uppointnient, was fifth in the race, while Selah B. Strong straggled in a^ poor sixth.
